Making sense of it all

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

A bit late to the table today with my offering. And it will be about Patch. Of course it will!

I once wrote about it being possible for him to communicate with me, so I could learn about his previous troubled life. And why, after 5+ years he gets really cross with me sometimes.

There have only been two other people I could tell he really didn’t like. In hindsight, he was spot on. It’s only me now he takes out his frustrations on.

On holiday in Cornwall, on the steps of our Shepherds Hut. He sits for the longest time, just taking it all in.

For today’s prompt, I would like the ability to sense what he does. Depending on which data you follow its estimated they have 100-300 million olfactory sensors, whist human have between 5-6 mil.

This means that dogs have a lot going on when they are out and about. I always notice when other dogs are not allowed to stop and smell the roses. With their people just walking them. I get it folk don’t always have the time to let their canine companions inspect every blade of grass. But to them it is everything.

Holibobs… revisited

Yay! We had a safe drive down to Cornwall yesterday. A tad arduous, but hey, we got here in one piece.

The Patches was so excited to see our hosts as was I. So good to spend time with the oldest of friends.

It’s a bit of a blustery start to the day. The relief is immense. There’s only so much heatwave a UK citizen can take.

So , we’re settled into The Sheppy ( Shepherds Hut) and we slept like babies. So are good to go now. To the beach it is!

I’m going to post a very short video in a minute or two. You’ll need the volume up high if you want to listen to the moment we were welcomed to the day by a very jolly little bird. What a delight. Edit; Mmm, can’t load the vid. Will come back later to check that out. Pity, it was lovely.

I’ll revise this page and add some more pics later.

Till then have yourself a good day lovely peeps.

Oh, one last thing for now. Should you be  a wannabe burglar and think to yourself ‘ she’s away from home, I’ll go and check out her crib’ think again. My neighbours on all sides and their dogs are badass. It would take a very brave and extremely stupid person to even try and get close. 😂
